It's official now! I have just completed studying for a Certificate in Astronomy with the University of Central Lancashire, via distance learning, and the result: a pass (of course!)

I'm now thinking of signing up for another course, but I haven't decided which one yet. I would have liked to do Cosmology or IT for Astronomers, but they aren't running this academic year.

If anybody is interested in astronomy this course is very good as an introduction to the theory behind the most basic of astronomy principles including the magnitude scale, stellar spectroscopy, calculating stellar mass and distance as well as investigations into astronomical features.
